Explanation:
Uttarakhand Government since its
inception has projected itself as a herbal state in
recognized for its inherited rich biodiversity and
ethnic herbal traditions. In view of increasing global
popularity of herbal medicinal, cultivation of herbal
plants to ensure constant supply can be an important
alternate source of economy in the state. Recently
the state Government has introduced several
incentives for the popularization of cultivation of
herbs. However, the various efforts may go fruitless
unless a scientific and systematic study is
undertaken to support the Government efforts. The
choice of right plant selected for cultivation would
be a crucial step. The flora of Garhwal has been
already extensively explored by several botanists
(Gaur1999; Naithani 1984-85; Bawa 1993; Bhatt et
al 2007). It comprises about 18000 plants species.
Further, the perusal of available herbal reports
(CIMAP report) revealed that as many as 1784
species are having some medicinal uses.
Recommending this seemingly large number of
plants would be impracticable and considerable
discretion would have to be applied for selecting a
herb for cultivation. However, the accumulated
literature remains clueless about the selection and
preference of economic cultivable herbal plants.
Therefore, it is essential to undertake a study to
enlist of various herbal plants actually used in
popular herbal medicines being presently marketed
to ascertain the medicinal and economic value of
individual plants.
In present paper a comprehensive list of
medicinal plants is presented in view of their
medicinal demand and their availability in utarakhand .
